I have that book, Reader’s Digest must have had an article on it.

Amazon.com Review
From 1991 to 1994, Keith Richburg was based in Nairobi as the Africa bureau chief for the Washington Post. He traveled throughout Africa, from Rwanda to Zaire, witnessing and reporting on wars, famines, mass murders, and the complexity and corruption of African politics. Unlike many black Americans who romanticize Africa, Richburg looks back on his time there and concludes that he is simply an American, not an African American. This is a powerful, hard-hitting book, filled with anguished soul-searching as Richburg makes his way toward that uncomfortable conclusion.

Richburg's points are so obvious to even the least-informed segment of any country in the world, it's a sad indicator of the depths of political correctness in the US that his book was even published.

Yes, that may have been it. Should be required reading in schools.
